ERIC NASH, painter

BACKGROUND

A lifelong artist, Eric Nash graduated with a BFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He began his painting career in Chicago where he worked as an art director in advertising cementing his interest in universal and iconic imagery. Cinematography, American Pop Art and Realism were and continue to be important influences.

Drawn to California and its legendary landscape and creative energy, he relocated to Los Angeles in 2000. His first studio was in Hollywood followed by Venice Beach where he first came to the attention of noted collectors in the movie industry, Silicon Valley, New York and Europe as well as corporate collections. His current studio is in the Mojave Desert town of Yucca Valley, California near Joshua Tree National Park. He has been the subject of a wide range of print and online media articles and has had numerous solo gallery shows. Recently he has been featured in museum shows at Laguna Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Riverside Art Museum and Palm Springs Museum of Art among others.

RECENT COMMENTARY

“California artist Eric Nash creates expansive nighttime paintings of urban sprawl coined ‘California noir.’ At once romantic and ominous, his mysterious landscapes are moody yet promising, with the glow and hum of vast expanses of city lights hugging the horizon in the pitch-black sky. Nash is well-known for his realistic paintings of highway signs imbued with narratives of the places they announce. His large nocturnal works are reduced to the essential elements of land and light.”
